52. most every country has an official language or languages
an official language is required to be taught in the schools and to appear as one of the languages on business and gov't documents

it is no big deal, and in practice, english is the official language of the usa, since it is treated exactly the way that official languages are treated in every country i've visited that has an official language (many countries have multiple official languages)
